Winning is all we do

"When eleven-year-old Tommy made his hometown's baseball travel team, he thought he'd be set for life. He thought he'd be royalty. He thought he'd become a member of the Super Sports Society. And that's all kind of true ... it will all happen, AFTER he wins his first travel tournament. Meanwhile, Tommy's best friend, Pel, is also going to his first tournament, and using his dad's old baseball glove is a punch-in-the-gut reminder that he's no longer here. Or, as Ma says, is he? Join Tommy, Pel, Diesel, Clutch, Alfredo, Goetz, and the members of the Bulldogs (wait ... no, the Turdles!) in their first-ever travel baseball tournament. Of course, there's tons of LOL-worthy moments, like a laser tag game gone wrong, an incident involving a bunch of chili flakes on pepperoni pizza (don't try that one at home), and a rival team that's gotta go down.
